2024 Colorado Apprenticeship Directory Live!
Thank you for those who responded to outreach to update your Directory listing. The Colorado Apprenticeship Directory is a helpful resource used across the state by career seekers, career coaches, state partners, and other stakeholders to promote apprenticeship opportunities to potential apprentices. 2024 changes, enacted as a result of recent legislation, include, but are not limited to, the separation of required and optional credits, diplomas, or certification, a more detailed explanation of program costs for apprentices, and the addition of the percentage of apprentices who complete each program.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to connect with us, or would like to submit further updates please either complete a Directory Update Form or schedule a brief call with an Apprenticeship Colorado Team representative by emailing apprenticeship@state.co.us.
